I know (from several examples) that Moscow LVO sends a similar request to people (not sure if selected or to all). In my case, I was debating whether to put 10 years or full history since 18 and decided to do the latter, i..e put the full history for my parents (if just to avoid delays in case...

I do not think that any proof of funds is required (as technically they are being sponsored, so not expected in general to be self sufficient). But of course this is best to be confrimed by those whose parents landed already :) (we are not there yet)

Yes, that is right. I did send PCCs to our LVO without waiting for the request (hoped to speed things up as well as due to the PCCs being close to 3 months date since isseu date, just in case). Anyway, initially when I emailed to LVO trying to confirm the receipt they sent me a useless...

Nobody can anwer that. Yes, the average for Ottawa seems to be about 4-6 weeks since approval, but again, no guarantees...

As far as I remember, at Vancouver border (e.g. Peace arch crossing), one does not need to go to the US officials. There is a road where you can turn (from the line to the US border contol) before actually reaching US posts and you would end up in the line towards canadian border control. So no...

Oh, CONGRATULATIONS! (I sent you a PM before reading that - so glad to see the good news!) Someone posted a phone # recently where you could call and try to arrange this to be done in Canada (check in this thread - can't remember who it was). Have you tried to contact Ottawa to see if there...

In Canada I recently paid 270 for my dad and 250 for my mom (the doctor charges $20 more if over 70, apparently because 2 more forms had to be complete). This included doctor's fee for the exam (150 and 130 respectively) and blood test ($45) and chest xray $72 (paid to the lab) Does not include...

I am in the same boat (and so were some other members of this thread). My parents are in canada now on visitor visa and their case is at LVO (Russia). We got the medicals from Moscow (by mail to my address - I am a rep). The forms are standard but the instructions were all in russian with the...

That is great news, congrats!

Hi guys, Question to those whose parents had medical done in Canada: from your experience how long did it take to hear regarding medicals (i.e. either get medical received status or get furtherance request)? My parents just did medicals just recently (couple of weeks ago) so I know it is way...

Thanks for replying! Forgot to say - CONGRATULATIONS! great progress - thinks coming close to the end!

Kerria, which LVO is it? DOes you country allow mailing passports across teh border? I know that my country (Russia) forbid mailing of passports outside of country so I know a person who got passport request from Moscow LVO and her mom is in Canada (so looks like her mom has to go home now and...

Wow! That looks scary... So, ND LVO request so much after all the paperwork was already submitted to Mississauga recently (as part of additional doc request)? (I am glad I am not from that LVO :) - that list seems seriously intimidating :-) )

THanks for letting me know!

This is what I am leaning towards too :) THe "path of the least resistance" or 'go with the flow' choices so to speak... (very zen of me :) ) I know that there are no guarantees either way, of course...

Hi all, We are going for medicals this week (here in Canada as my parents are visiting) and I have a couple of questions: 1) Which office to send the results: since our case is at an LVO, our medical forms instructs us to have the results sent to London, UK. However, when I was making an...

WHat about buying an Xpresspost envelope? Did they not offer you those Canada Post? They are prepaid and you could enclose them when mailing the passport.

Hi Peter Rabbit, did you get any updates regarding your situation? Have you tried to call that number? Was your mom's case processed at CPC-O or at an LVO?

Maybe try to query through an MP? I never tried that so I am not sure if that depends on a particular MP wilingness to help or if this is something they are supposed to do if asked... Also not sure how long it takes (i.e.same 30 days or less) but given that your parents medicals are getting...

Yes, I definitely know that they can chose to do CD if too much data for an email (but a person I know actually got paper instead of electronic file that she requested). I have sent them 3 emails in the past 3 weeks or so, no reply at all. Interestingly that when I in inquired back in July...
